"It's a joke, man. Don't get your panties in a knot." He's right, I'm way too serious right now. I need something to calm me down and chill out with my mate again. This time though, I'm not going to any stupid girl parties. Maybe I'll meet my own nice girl whilst we're out. It's always a possibility, and if I suddenly want to become a peacekeeper, now's my only chance for that kind of stuff. "Do you know your way around here?" I do. I look around briefly. "Yep. That's the market there," I point down an alley that is all dark with only a few visible signs that say various shop types. "That's the doctors," I point again, this time somewhere to me left. "And... That's probably where we'll end up for our festivities this evening." I finish with a point straight forward, at a house that looks very normal with no signs outside of it. This is actually my old neighbourhood, before my family moved closer to the others. I was only around fourteen, but I remember it like the back of my hand.
"It's a bar, trust me." I walk forward at a faster pace. Three knocks, then a final louder knock, and the door swings open and somebody familiar is on the other side. "My my. Look who it is." Says the polite voice of the owner, a man dressed in quite smart clothes with black, well-kept hair. "Frank's kid, how've you been?" I shake his hand. "Good. Older, though." I laugh and so does he. I don't actually know him. He must have seen me grow up or something, I dunno. I'm actually of age this time, so we can get into somewhere decent. I run my hand through my hair as the owner lets us by. Inside just looks like any old house but I can hear some music at least.
"Where's...?" I begin, but he shuts me up by opening the door to the basement, which is a large space underneath where the music is definitely coming from. He must have had some good soundproof fitting because the moment he opens that door the sound of the music is as though we we in the middle of a club. "Don't get too rowdy, got some official guests." He warns us. He must know I'm of age because he doesn't ask for any form of identification. Thank god for that, because I don't have it on me besides my peacekeeper badge in my pocket. "Come on mate, get stuck in." I tell Matt, walking down the stairs. With each step I can feel that sensation in my leg that I felt earlier. Maybe I'm bleeding. I can't just look at it. Not here. I should've done it earlier. So stupid Tyren.
I go straight to the bar, and take in how large the place is. It's like a whole club down here. It probably isn't even illegal. Especially if that guy up there knew my dad. "Two strongs." I say to the barkeep. "A what?" He asks me with an annoying voice that makes my skin crawl. "Two. Strong. Beers." I spell out for him. He rolls his eyes pathetically at me and I raise a distasteful lip, handing over some change. "Um, you're missing a dollar." His mouth twists at me. I reach into my pocket and literally throw it backward at him whilst I'm walking to a table. I think it lands on the desk. I don't care really.
